the head of the nra came out afterwards and said we can check off the box met with the nra and then go do whatever they planned to do in the first place. that's what we wanted to happen because the power the unlimited power, the days of the unlimited power of the nra are now clearly over. and it is about time. it's not because the american people have changed. it is because the nra has changed from an organization that once represented responsible gun owners to an organization today that is nothing but the lobby for irresponsible gun manufacturers. vice president joe biden says he will now have his recommendations to president obama on gun violence, how to deal with it, by next tuesday. good for joe biden. has to be the fastest job on a task force in history. have a great weekend everybody! thanks for being with us this week. we'll see you again here on monday.

>> it is typical what we have seen from the nra. every time there is a tragedy, we hear the blame game. it's the movie industry the civil justice process, the blame game never stops. they are unable to be honest with themselves and say we create a weapon that can kill a hundred people in less than 20 seconds. it was the same thing in columbine, the same methodology, blame somebody else. it continues, and unfortunately the media allows it to continue. because we don't call them out on it. >> jennifer: well, i'm glad you are calling them out but they have been pretty darn effective. let's listen to what president obama had to say today. >> part of the challenge that we confront is even the slightest hint of some sensible responsible, legislation in this area fans this notion that somehow -- here it comes, and that everybody's guns are going to be taken away. >> jennifer: so i'm taking a poll of all of my guests tonight. do you think the president will be able to win over lawmakers who may even be on the fence about new gun safety laws

the rank and file members of the nra and him and his gun lobby buddies. that was fully on display this afternoon during the hearing. >> julian, what do you make of that? this notion has been discussed at length. the constituency that we talked about in the open that the nra claims to represent and what stephen is talking about. which is other people who own guns but have a different view of the road ahead. >> well, i think it's very clear through a number of different things we've learned since the newtown tragedy that wayne lapierre represents the interests of gun manufacturers, not of gun owners. i think it's clear there's a lot of daylight between the two. one of the things that became clear today in the hearing, i think, was that lapierre's credibility is quickly evapor e evaporating. even amongst republicans who are squeamish about the lunatic things this guy has said from time to time. not just going after the president's children. not just the idea we ought to be marketing assaults to 10-year-old kids. when chairman leahy today exposed the fact lap

the nra is actually in a very weak position here. because if you just inform people about how weak the gun laws are, they go that is not my position. i thought it was already in place. >> richard wolff, thank you for joining us tonight. >> you bet. >>> coming up, scott brown's political future. will he be smart enough to avoid losing the race in massachusetts by not running for the race again, that is in the re-write. >>> and later, cory booker will be here to talk about his intention to run for senate in new jersey. [ male announcer ] this is joe woods' first day of work. and his new boss told him two things -- cook what you love, and save your money. joe doesn't know it yet, but he'll work his way up from busser to waiter to chef before opening a restaurant specializing in fish and game from the great northwest. he'll start investing early, he'll find some good people to help guide him, and he'll set money aside from his first day of work to his last, which isn't rocket science. it's just common sense. from td ameritrade. nothing.

the baltimore city chief, james johnson, is going to testify as well as the nra, which has resisted gun control measures that have been talked about. so as this conversation moves forward, how do we continue to have a thoughtful and logical national debate on gun control and apply these solutions on curbing gun violence in major cities and smaller cities and rural ones, but as you say, with everyone not being on the same page, this really does demonstrate that this is not a one-sized fits all answer to this. >> i think, personally, what we have to do is stop calling it gun control. we're trying to control violence. and that has many different facets to it. there's mental health issues, there's databases we need access to, there's record checks that need to be done. there's reporting stolen weapons, doctors being involved, and sharing information between schools, police, mental health professionals. so we need to stop calling it a gun control debate. that's what my personal opinion is, because like i said, when people hear that, they're on one side or the other. and we shouldn't be. we s
